Excellent escape room! We tried the Asylum for two people, it was a little pricey but worth it. The puzzles are well thought out, the rooms are thoughtfully designed and immersive and the staff are very attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend. Special thanks to Tee-Jay for hosting us!

Had a great time playing The Haunting at escapekent this morning. The escape room was well decorated, the puzzles were fun and quite tricky in places, and there were some surprises along the way. Staff were lovely Easy to book and find. Recommend

Completed escape room number 4 today with my best mate James. This was our first escape room at the Canterbury site with the previous 3 having been at Faversham. We took on 'Pirates of the Stormy Seas' and escaped with around a minute to spare. Our host was friendly yet professional and our experience was amazing as always! Really good fun! This was a joint birthday present because we both love Escaping Kent. Room number 5 pending....👍
